+several items, such as \helpref{wxListBox}{wxlistbox} and
+\helpref{wxCheckListBox}{wxchecklistbox} derived from it,
\helpref{wxChoice}{wxchoice} and \helpref{wxComboBox}{wxcombobox}.
It defines the methods for accessing the controls items and although each of
the derived classes implements them differently, they still all conform to the
same interface.

+The items in a wxControlWithItems have (non-empty) string labels and,
optionally, client data associated with them. Client data may be of two
different kinds: either simple untyped ({\tt void *}) pointers which are simply
stored by the control but not used in any way by it, or typed pointers
({\tt wxClientData *}) which are owned by the control meaning that the typed

will be also deleted if it is owned by the control.

+\membersection{wxControlWithItems::Insert}\label{wxcontrolwithitemsinsert}
+
+\func{int}{Insert}{\param{const wxString\& }{ item}, \param{unsigned int }{pos}}

+\docparam{item}{String to add.}
+
+\docparam{pos}{Position to insert item before, zero based.}
+

\constfunc{bool}{IsEmpty}{\void}
{\bf Obsolescence note:} This method is obsolete and was replaced with
\helpref{GetCount}{wxcontrolwithitemsgetcount}, please use the new method in
-the new code. This method is only available if wxWindows was compiled with

future versions.

+
+This is the same as \helpref{SetSelection}{wxcontrolwithitemssetselection} and
